Editing ad, rethink location of hopeless shot? (2,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in the dark

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'location of hopeless shot?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'editing ad rethink' is the wordplay.
'editing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ad'+'rethink'='adrethink'
'adrethink' anagrammed gives 'IN THE DARK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in the dark that I've seen before include "Told nothing" , "during the night?" , "without being informed" , "overnight" , "after sundown" .)
